CHLS Film Screening: No Separate Survival
°µÍøÊÓƵstudents, faculty and staff are invited to the Film Screening of No Separate Survival.
The film showcases the voices of Central American and Mexican LGBTQ+ asylum seekers as storytellers and content co-producers in the filmmaking process. Given the distorted representation of migrants in general, this seeks to highlight ways digital storytelling (in Mexico and the US) helps us rethink migration and facilitate community building across legal status and borders.
The Q& A session following the 30 min screening will feature the director Dr. Shabnam Piryaei (SFSU) and Dr. Dario Valles reflecting upon - among other topics- Latinx/Chicanx filmmaking and border abolition activism in the digital age and the role we can play from campuses. They will also underscore the connection among ethnic studies and visual production and filmmaking.
